It was a moving, dramatic, thought-provoking evening of theatre:
The Beauty Queen of Leenane, by Martin McDonagh stirs up so much that must be familiar to us all. We are not perfect and the perfect family, imho, does not exist. The tapestry of family life includes much of imperfections, not least mental health issues and fall-out, but all the rest.
The sisters who never visit, the son-in-law who doesn’t come to the funeral. the younger brother – but I won’t enter into spoilers. Take yourself along there:
And about the post’s title? There’s something special about sharing the drama with a Traverse audience. The dark, the attentive and respectful silence and the air of satisfaction and appreciation enhance the experience for us all.
Run ends Saturday 22nd. Post show discussion Friday 21st.
Thanks for this Anne. I’m not able to see this production, but its good to have a trusted crit. on what is happening in our Theatre’s. Keep up the good work and enjoy!
